Hello everyone, at this point i am truely undecided but the opportunity wont last forever. I have no clue whether or not to sell my ta for a viper. are the performance that much better in the older vipers than the newer ta's?
from what i have heard, is that the older Vipers are not really all that good, now i will not swear to this a all. but i hear to stay away from the older vipers
Keep the TA It is more practical!
The vipers are too expensive to keep up and you can't work on them.
:stupid: send a PM to ViperSniper...he'll give you the L/D on vipers...i think he's gotta a 2000?
ya i really dont know jack about vipers, i just like their styling (2 seater, sidepipes, etc) and their 480 ft lb of torque lol. they are so exotic but i also hear that the 94s have head gasket problems and other things...the car is 26000 with 65k and i wonder how much faster stock for stock it is than f bodies
Here's the deal on '94 Vipers. Let's just say that it is completely stock. The '94's had 400 horsepower from the factory, and ran approximately 12.80's. Here's something you will want to consider.......insurance! I know someone with a Viper, and the insurance is quite a bit more expensive than you are paying now for your Trans Am. Just something to think about. Good luck with your choice!
If you have the money, go with what you truly want more. Just know that upkeep and insurance will cost you more. As for performance, you can go drop a grand into a stock TA and run with that viper. The exotic classification of the car would be nice and you would definatly turn more heads. As long as its not a DD you should be fine.

Both cars are bad a** but with the Viper you will most definitly get more looks. Just remember that it will cost more for just about anything from mods to insurance. I have to admit though that the viper has been my all time favorite car, untill now. I have to say that the new Z06 has taken its place. :drool: Good luck in your decision either way.
I was looking at auto trader found a Viper around here at a dealership. Its a 95 with 25,000 miles on it for 32,000 its green. 26,000 seems a little high with 65,000. I think if had had a chance to switch I would do it. You would indeed get alot of attention.
i agree with murder after midnite, a viper will get a thousand times more looks.
i mean our f-bodies are referred to as mullet mobiles.
i saw a green viper convertible around town today, and it was one of the earlier ones
i was really sickened with the PLASTIC side windows?
did i miss something but i think i saw plastic side windows that were connected to the convert. top, GAY AS HELL thats cheezy
I say get the Viper . And then you can tell us why we should keep our T/As ......lol
I've always been a Viper fan and if I could afford the upkeep on the V10 and insurance I would have one in a minute. Instead my poor ass drives a WS6.
Think of it this way...if you don't like attention then don't get the Viper. Park a stock Viper next to a stock WS6 and there isn't a question which car is going to get noticed. It would be like parking a WS6 next to a Geo Metro. :lol:
well i jus called the ins company, and since im not 23 yet (only 19) the ins on the car is about 5400 basic and 8500 full coverage per year... i wasnt expecting that comming
the average viper claim is 22k.Quote:
